Art and Garden Classes

for Toddlers and Young Children

Children’s Art Studio
and Discovery Garden

At Studio Sprout we believe in play-based learning — experimentation is encouraged and making a
mess is okay! The studio and garden offer a welcoming and fun environment
equipped with all sorts of innovative art and garden activities for toddlers and young children. Our ultimate goal is to provide art projects and activities that are fun for kids.

Living artfully and being good stewards for the planet go hand-in-hand. At Studio Sprout we make a point to reuse, reduce, and recycle. All materials are non-toxic and projects will often
incorporate recycled materials.When the weather
permits we go outside to create art and make clean-up at the water table
a playful learning experience. Spring through Fall will offer planting,
tending and harvesting in our raised veggie beds, treasure hunting for
art materials in the garden, and visiting with our chickens.

We have small class sizes so children can strengthen their social skills in a comfortable and nurturing space. The studio is vibrant, colorful and cozy.
Children move freely about, creating art at their own pace. Each child
is encouraged to make their own decisions about how they will formulate
and execute their art. This gives our young artists opportunities to
problem-solve and use their creative potential. With minimal instruction and lots of freedom the art of every child comes out beautifully every time!
